A smoother start — new dancers are now guided to add the classes they take each week, so one-tap logging, reminders and the Home Screen widget work from day one. Fixes — old milestones no longer pop up again when you open the app, and the welcome tour now says clearly what stays on your phone and what the anonymous usage statistics are. Your Season now counts a correction in the season you mastered it, and practice time reads correctly.

A Home Screen widget — your next class and one correction to keep in mind, right on your Home Screen, with a countdown to your next performance in the larger size. It follows your theme, and while App Lock is on it shows nothing from your diary. Anonymous usage statistics — Dance Diary now shares anonymous statistics about which features are used and when the app crashes, so we can fix problems and make it better. It never includes what you write, how you feel, or who you are, and you can switch it off in About → Privacy & Security. Under the hood — updated components for a faster, steadier app.

Quick Capture — after class, type every correction your teacher gave you, one per line, and save them all at once. Practice timer — run a timer against the correction or skill you are working on. The minutes land against that thing, and a correction you have practised stops being flagged as forgotten. Your Season — turn any period into a summary you can send to a teacher or keep for an audition. Crisis support wherever you are — helplines now match your country, with services for the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, and a worldwide directory everywhere else. Easier to use with VoiceOver and large text — buttons and controls throughout the app now announce themselves properly, and the app no longer breaks at the largest accessibility text sizes. A gentle reminder to keep a copy — your diary lives only on this phone, so Dance Diary will occasionally offer to export a backup.
